Hi everyone, I'm really sorry I haven't updated in so long, but I've been really busy. The Aly & AJ concert was really awesome Wednesday, and I've just been really busy all around. DEAD MAN'S CHEST TOMOROW!Anyway, I'd just like to take a moment to go in to who I've based Lily-Rose and Jack on. Lily-Rose is based off of three of my favorite eight year olds. One is the daughter of my oldest cousin, Elizabeth. I based Lily-Rose's all around disposition on her. She's sweet, smart, and always happy and upbeat. She needed a little bit more, so I gave her the enthusiasm of my mini-me, Emma. Then I mostly based her looks off of my cousin (other side of the family) Mel. She's got very dark hair with generally pale skin. But I gave her Johnny's eyes. So I just use my mental image of Mel when I write about Lily-Rose. Jack…is based off of Elizabeth's brother Peter. He's four as well, and is a typical little boy, but on the quieter side. So anyways, on with the story!

"Well that's embarrassing!" Lola said, laughing. When she saw Hannah wasn't laughing, she quickly slowed down and cleared her throat.

"So…what's next?"

Hannah sighed. "Well, I think that the one RESPONSIBLE should clean this mess up. I'll start fixing their actual dinner." She took down another blue box, brushed the burned macaroni off of the milk, butter, and cooking pot, and set to cooking the food. Lola began picking up all of the burned bits of macaroni piece by piece. A few minutes later, Lily-Rose walked in. Her eyes grew wide as she stared around the kitchen.

"What. The heck. Happened?" She asked.

"Why don't you ask Miss Lola?" Hannah said, trying to conceal a grin as she began straining the noodles. Lola rolled her eyes, smiled, and then began in a tone of someone telling a very interesting story.

"Well," Lola began in an exaggerated tone. She opened her mouth but Lily-Rose started talking with a questioning look on her face.

"Did you use carbo-car-car fizzy water to cook the macaroni?" Lily-Rose said, abandoning her attempt to pronounce carbonating. Hannah and Lola looked surprised. Hannah pointed at Lola, much like Riley pointed at Ben for stealing the Declaration of Independence when his dad is accusing them.

"How'd you know?" Lola said incredulously.

"Dad mixed them up once. I think he was on the phone with Mr. Verbinski. It was before Jack was born, but something like that's hard to forget," Lily-Rose recalled. Lola was about to say something, but Hannah stopped her.

"Hey Lil, why don't you and Jack watch TV for a bit more, and we'll call you when supper's ready?" Hannah said with a shaky laugh.

At about a quarter to seven, Hannah called for the kids to come eat.

"Lily-Rose! Jack! Time to eat!" She called into the next room. Lola was putting placing the forks on the napkins as the two kids bounced in. Lily-Rose climbed up on to one of the seats.

"Lily-Rose, c'est my seat!" Jack said. Lily-Rose groaned saying, "Fine!". She got down and climbed into the other seat. In front of each of them were kid-sized bowls of Mac n' Cheese. They both thanked the girls for fixing their meal. Lily-Rose began to eat, but Jack frowned a little bit before picking up his fork.

"Combien de milk est-ce que you put in it?" He said.

"Uh, come again?" Lola said, looking confused.

"Jack sometimes speaks French and English in the same sentence without realizing what he's doing. It's part of being raised bilingual since birth. I did it a lot when I was little too," Lily-Rose explained. "He wants to know how much milk you put in it."

"We put in the same amount that the box said to. Is that ok?" Hannah asked the little boy, coming down to his eye level. He nodded, seeming content, and began to eat. Hannah and Lola watched them eat in silence for a few minutes.

"Hey Miles?" Lola whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Can I go, you know, explore upstairs?" Lola asked excitedly but soft enough so the kids couldn't hear. Hannah sighed.

"Fine," She said, "but you behave yourself Lola Luftnagle!" she added in a fake stern voice. Lola gave a little squeal, gave Hannah a little hug, and ran upstairs.

"Well," Hannah thought. "The disaster that ALWAYS has to happen has happened, so things will probably go smoothly. Just finishing dinner, a movie, then we can hang out until Johnny and Vanessa get back."

Boy was she wrong.

What do y'all think? This definitely wasn't my best chapter, the next one will be better and long, I promise, but I needed a chapter in between two funny ones. Kind of like cement in a wall of bricks. Anyways, please R&R! To all of my wonderful previews reviewers, you are the ones that keep me going! Okay, whatever, now go defeat Voldemort, drink rum, join the Chinese army, discover a magical land through a wardrobe, swim across the entire ocean with a fish who can't even remember her own name, or steal the Declaration of Independence! But most importantly, have a nice day!

Dumbledore: Dark and Difficult times lie ahead, Harry. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right, and what is easy.

Elizabeth: There will come a moment where you will have the chance to do the right thing.

Jack: I love those moments! I like to wave at them as they pass by.

Remarkable how often those two movies coincide.
